    Can't get up to 23mph - bummed out

    Hurley, I totally get your take on looks (and rofl!). I felt the same way at first. The looks have grown on me a bit, but the battery is really what kills it. Here is a good pic of the OHM XU700 Urban: http://newwheel.net/products/ohm-sport-xs750-d-series-electric-bike And one of the XS750:

    The ST1 Platinum msrp is $4200, so they are essentially the same price. The Stromer has a much better look since the battery is integrated. The OHM is indeed lighter, but I don't see what the benefit of less weight is with an ebike, other than maybe picking it up to put it in a car or...

    Hurley, would love to hear your opinion of the Evo Race compared to the ST1. I know there is a $1200 difference in price, but the ST1 seems to have more speed, range and comfort no? I considered Easy Motion and think they are good bikes, but from what I heard the Stromer will have a much more...

    Looks are subjective, but while I first thought the bike was "dorky" looking because of the seat post sticking up, when the seat post is lowered I found this bike to be the sexiest, best-looking bike out there. The black with the red trim/font is especially good-looking, imho. I am a noobie...

    I actually just recently considered the OHM XU700 on suggestion from someone else... seems like this bike has a lot to offer! I just wish they'd do something with the awkward-looking battery. Other than the battery sticking out, the bike has very good looks! Curious, what makes you recommend...

    Hi Jason, not sure but I believe the site requests for all specific pricing to be discussed on private messages. If you are looking for a good deal on a bike, I highly recommend both eflow and Lenny's Bike Shop. Eflow is great, and Lenny's staff are all great people.

    That's very kind of you to say, but you guys have laid all the groundwork! I'm very grateful. Even tho my current ebike doesn't go 28, I still luv it.

    I can still do that, and probably will, if this bike cannot assist past 20mph. It's still a great bike, and I love it, minus the speed limitation.

    Well again, it seems my model is 2013, where there was only one version. Either way, the question that is being asked is what speed does the power assist cut off, and this question is for the 2013 model, and both versions of the 2014 model.

    You asked the very question yourself, by the way.

    Can't get up to 23mph - bummed out

    I don't see where ANYONE on this thread does not understand that there are two versions of the new model. What people have asked is at what speed does the power assist cut-off, on either version. And also as was earlier pointed out on this thread, the Currie site currently shows the black with...

    Can't get up to 23mph - bummed out

    Hi Ann, I believe I have the 2013 model. Court has the model that I have with the red trim listed as 2014 and 28mph, but I believe that is incorrect. What say you? Also, with the 2014 model, can you verify what speed the assist cuts off at, for the speed version of the bike?

    Can't get up to 23mph - bummed out

    Dealer did not mislead me at all. If you read the thread, you will see that there is some confusion about what speed this bike assists up to. Either way, the dealer was AWESOME in giving me a loaner when I was purchasing an ST1 that was out of stock. I'm glad either way that I was given the...

    Thank you!! By the way, someone had posted a full diagram of the size of all the tubes, and the difference between the S-M-L, but I can't remember where I saw it. The medium size is 20". S (18", 46cm), M (20", 51cm), L (21.5", 54.5cm), LS-S (18" 46cm), LS-M (20", 51cm)

    Hurley, I think you are right. I raised the seat post up another few inches, and I can see how that would give me more room for leg strokes. Sucks though because the bike doesn't look as sexy with the post raised up more!! :-P I like the Swiss symbol on the fork, and on the seat post it's...

    I'll try the seat out higher when I get home, and will report back. :-)

    Can't get up to 23mph - bummed out

    JR, good stuff to consider, and I'll have a try at this when I get home, but couple things - 1) In that pic of mine that you posted, that was when I was assembling the bike, and the seat post was not even in yet. So that is much lower than when the seat post is in. 2) The position I have the...

    If you mean the symbol on the seat post, I concur, but when the seat post is lowered, I think the bike looks tremendous. There is a Swiss symbol on the front fork, and I think it looks pretty snazzy, especially with the red trim. I absolutely LOVE the look of the black bike with the red trim...

    Hi Pastabatman, With a longer commute, time becomes an issue. Life is really busy/hectic out here, and while I enjoy a bike ride, I need some speed for flat areas. There are some other areas where there is a crowd/action going on, and I actually don't mind slowing down for that, to enjoy that...

    Can't get up to 23mph - bummed out

    I don't mind. I completely agree with everything you just said. This bike is great, but it's greatly limited/hampered by the lack of speed. If I just wanted to go short range, a regular bike would do. To me, the whole purpose of an ebike is to be able to go on rides of more than a couple miles...
